What a beast

Well it came today one box with ups and the other from FedEx camera and lens. After Franks generous offer of the use of his h I started to do some serious investigation into the 2x. Ive read a dozen articles and reviews, watched as you guys worked out the kinks and produced such stunning pictures. But the other day I walked into our local Wolf camera and their it was sold but the sales guy let me play with it for a while what a mistake. Well I hope that I can get a handle on this thing in the next month if not Ill have fun trying.

Yep, another beast owner!! I suppose the reversed nokiN was a trick test to see who was paying attention (not that it wasn't glaring).

Folks, I'm here to say that I'm red-faced. I was going to send Huskey8 my NC2 software but found that I had the box and manuals. As it turns out, I had to send the CD back to Nikon to get a free NC3 package (timing purchase thingy).

Unless, of course, you thought you were able to control your lens lust to any extent.

It won't take you long at all to get used to the new body. It's so well designed and intuitive once you get used to the controls that you will have no problems I'm sure.

My advice: spend the most time up front getting used to the essentials before starting to delve into the special features. You can always start experimenting later -- those features will still be there.

I'm not a Nikon guy my 828 was a feather compared to this camera I thought that some of the people were stretching the Truth when they talked about how heavy their camera bags were well not any more.

Thanks Richard,
It is my site, from the ground up. Except it is being scrapped
in the next week or so for the new revamped one. The format
on that site is getting old, the photography needs to be updated,
and I am putting more emphasis on my photography and less
on design, web sites etc....

So, you have had the camera in your hands for over 24 hours
now. How many frames have you fired so far?

I get such a kick out of this new metric of the digital photography era. 'Frames Fired" seems to be the new badge of honor. Never mind how many salable images were made :lol:

When I read that someone 'fired 2000 frames' to cover a wedding, I remember when I did weddings and those 'frames' cost more than a buck apiece, considering the cost to buy, process and proof 120 film.

I'm not sure what I think about this new badge of photographic prowess :?:

But then again, when I consider that my 1995 Isusu Trooper doesn't quite have 70,000 miles on it, I suppose that explains it. . . . . and they were all good miles, too

LOL John. :lol:

There is of course truth to what you say, but I think that this is one of the attractions of digital. I do agree though that after you have learned your gear, the emphasis should shift to getting quality shots, not just shots.

I cant just fire away and not look at a good image if it's on the nasty side I need to find out why so all that said maybe 30. It is a remarkable camera Robin the potential is way above may head at the moment but as you stated earlier it is just instrument and it's nice to know that it can go anywhere I'm smart enough to take it.
